So my father in law upgrades his comcast so that he gets more high definition television, and VOIP. Unfortunately this caused a problem with the mother in law.
So lets back up to what they had before installing this upgraded service.
Before the upgrade:
The cable modem that provided their internet was back in the office at one corner of the house. The originally had Quest phone service so the base station of the phone system was at the end of the house. There were two other handsets one back were the computer is and one in their bedroom.
The upgrade to VOIP occurs:
I helped install the cable modem that included phone jacks for the VOIP service. To make this work we took the base station and moved it back to were the computer is and the handset that was in the computer room was moved out to were the base station used to be. It all works, except when one (mother in law) answers the phone she gets all sorts of static.
It is a VTEC 5.8 Ghz phone system and I have been trying to find a repeater solution. But I guess this a pretty old technology and don't know how successful I would be at doing a repeater system.
What I am wondering is the following: There is a POT port back were the computer is and a POT port where the base station used to be. I am wondering is there is a way to run a POT cable from the VOIP cable box over to the POT jack on the wall, then I could put the base station back it was originally and plug it into the wall.
Any way to do this ......
